Show Notes
Kameron Taylor was playing on the Freshman team his first year at Dematha, before joining the varsity in his junior season. He went under the radar during his time their playing behind guys like Quinn Cook, Victor Oladipo, Jerian Grant, and many other future professionals!
He winded up at a small division 2 school called Seton Hill, and from there Kameron blossomed into a player that today, many ask how so many people let fly under the radar?
In this episode, we touch on Kam's decision to stay at Dematha instead of transferring out, his decision to attend Seton Hill, and how he has been able to climb the ranks of Europe coming from a small school.
We unpack his rise through Germany, and eventually, making it to the pinnacle of overseas basketball playing in the Euroleague with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and what that accomplishment meant to him.
We then get to him earning an opportunity to play NBA Summer League with the Phoenix Suns, running into Steve Nash, and getting his first start Vs. The Lakers in primetime!
Next Kam broke down his decision to come play in Spain for Girona, alongside future Hall of Famer Marc Gasol. Kam shares some amazing insight to playing with Marc in the late stages of his career, and what it's been like to pick his brain.
Lastly, we bring it home to the DMV to discuss some Dematha hoops, and as always, discuss European fashion trends and London Fashion Week!
